Danu was astonished to hear Kennan saying that Nina was his mother.
"What was Nina Kennan's real mother, and Kennan was the result of my affair with Nesa who turned out to be Nina's own wife, but why did that child also call Irma a mami ?" Danu is entrenched with a thousand questions that are eager to get answers.
The two were still mute to each other, moments later, the tail of Nina's eyes caught Umi who was running small entering her house. Rushing Nina came running after the woman who had given birth to her. As for Kennan and Danu, they stared in surprise at Nina who suddenly ran, Kennan was about to catch up with Nina, but his steps were stopped by Danu.
Danu knelt in front of her son "Honey let mom talk to Grandma, we help mommy bring the suitcase into yuk"
Kennan nodded his head even though his heart was still in disappointment.
**********
While in the doorway, Nina passed Arifin, before she also passed by his wife.
"Nina" said Abi, Mr. Arifin was surprised to find his daughter in front of him.
"Abi, Assalamu'alaikum bi" Nina immediately moved abi's hand and kissed him, after which, she embraced the body of a man whom she greatly respected.
"Come, sorry Nina bi, sorry"
Abi patted Nina's back gently, "Meet umimu, she's coming into your room" Abi said, then broke her arms. "I'm sorry to umi, she misses you so much"
"Yes bi"
With Gontai Nina entering her room, slowly the door opened, looking umi who was sitting on the lip of the bed, with a blank look looking down at the floor. Nina immediately approached Umi after closing the door of her room.
Taking a kneeling position before her uminya, Nina held the woman's hand, rubbed it gently, then kissed the back of her hand many times.
"Umi, I'm sorry Nina"
"Why did you come back when Umi could already forget you?" Nina looked up for a moment, she stared into the eyeballs of umi, trying to figure out the meaning of Lela's umi speech.
"Umi said what?" ask with a sad letter.
"Why did you leave abi and umimu?" yelled Umi with a loud voice.
"Sorry umi, sorry" Nina looked down again.
To be honest Nina never felt calm during leaving abi and umi, she was eager to go home and return to her family. However, his guts suddenly shrunk, he was too afraid to account for his actions.
"You know, every night even Umi never sleeps well because it keeps thinking about you, do you not think a single bit about our feelings, what you will do if you return, when you return, abi and Umi are no longer in this world, have you ever thought of Karenina?"
"Nina begs for mercy, pardon me" he said with tears.
It was painful, he had never imagined this before.
"My life is full of guilt because it always makes abi and umi ashamed" Lirihnya full of regrets. "From birth to this size, Nina has never pleased you"
"Nina apologizes for always bothering us, Nina begs for forgiveness for all Nina umi's mistakes" he added with a serious highlight.
Umi landed a hand on Nina's head, then summarized the face of the princess, the middle-aged woman kissed her old daughter's forehead.
"Don't you repeat again son, sin" a moment Umi hugged Nina who was still on her knees, hoping this short hug was able to eliminate her longing all this time.
"Yes umi, Nina promised not to repeat it again" Nina replied with a nod of her head.
"Peace it, son, don't leave the house when you have a problem. The problem was solved, not run away"
"Understanding, understand"
"Now tell me about Kennan, I'm wondering why the boy called you mother"
"She's anaku um, granddaughter umi and abi"
"Who is his father?" ask umi while frowning.
"Mas Danu umi" There was relief in the heart of umi hearing Nina's answer.
"Why did you leave your husband when you were pregnant?"
"Nina didn't know she was pregnant at the time"
"And once you know, why don't you go home?" ask again full of search.
"Umi, Nina's ashamed" he said.
"Why then?", are you pregnant with your husband"
"Because, Ni_"
Dung,, dung,, dung,,
The sound of bedug cut off Nina's speech, when it had entered the adhan maghrib the men had prepared at the mosque near the ponpes, Umi and Nina would pray at home.
"We pray maghrib first" concluded Umi then moved up and both stepped outside.
"Where's Kennan Yun?" nina asked as she just walked out of the room.
"Kennan the same Mr. Danu mba, brought to the mosque with abi"
Nina rounded her mouth to form the letter O, her eyes looked swollen from crying.
"Mba Yuni has wudhu? we pray worshippers at home, later imami umi" said Umi who was nodded by Yuni.
After praying, Nina returned to the room to unpack her suitcase, she intended to arrange her clothes into the closet. Feeling a little hot, and the body was also a little sticky, Nina released her khimar then threw it on the mattress.
*****
Outside, Danu and Kennan had just returned home from the mosque, Kennan who was in Danu's arms laughing cheerfully, making him smile.
"Assalamualaikum" they said compactly.
"Wa'alaikumsalam" replied Umi complete with a smile. "Son, Nina's in the room, talk softly to your wife"
"Yes umi" replied Danu obediently.
Previously Danu was also given advice by his father-in-law to solve problems with patience and a cold head. Danu dropped Kennan off his carrier and headed straight for the room.
"Kennan same grandma used to be here, I want to talk to mother" Umi brought Kennan to the kitchen. Umi, bi Tati, and mba Yuni, are preparing dinner, they will eat lesehan in the gazebo in front of the house.

Someone knocked on the room door, Nina thought it was umi, but Danu said. He immediately grabbed the khimar on the bed, then put it on nervously before he heard Danu scolding him.
She bowed her head, and she did not dare look at her husband. A sudden feeling of fear attacked Nina, guilt also dominated her mind.
"Nina" call Danu soft.
Nina's chest rippled at her call. Just this time he heard Danu calling him in such a soft voice, He was nervous, with a very uncomfortable heartbeat. Nina squeezed his hand, hoping to neutralize the taste. Seconds, suddenly her memory falls when she deceives her husband by naming him Nesa.
The man stepped foot, slowly walking closer towards Nina. When the steps get closer, their distance is eroded. Now they stood facing each other at a distance of less than a meter.
"Nin" call him again.
One second, two seconds, three seconds, the woman raised her head slowly.
For a second, their eyes met. Their eyes were fixed on each other. The two men compactly swallowed saliva almost at the same time.
Looking at Nina's swollen eyes, made Danu's heart sliced.
"Yes Rabb, why does my heart ache to see his face that looks damp and haggard? My heart? what's with my heart beating uncomfortably? If only I could, I would embrace her this very second, venting all my longing for her, peeping her forehead, lips, and cheeks. If my tongue is not confused, I want to say my apology to him, I want to say about my longing for him, I want to say that I can't live without him"
Dissolved into daydreams in a state of mutual exchange, Danu finally realized that Nina was very similar to Nesa when viewed from a close distance.
"Today I stared at him for so long, so deeply. It's true that Nina and Nesa are so similar, they're the same person. She's so clever about disguising herself as another woman.
As for me, how stupid to be fooled by her, my own wife"
Danu saturates with a little taste that he cannot explain.
"Mas Danu, what I'm going to explain to you, I don't know what the exact sentence is to explain all about Nesa. Now I must be thinking if my face is very similar to Nesa, now I can definitely conclude that Nesa is me. I'm sorry, sorry. I was a bad wife even to the point of daring to deceive her own husband"
There was no conversation between the two, a sudden awkward feeling enveloped him. They are busy with their own thoughts.
"Mother" Kennan barged into the room where there was his father and his mother, the little boy half ran past Danu. Danu and Nina were a little surprised in the middle of her daydream. Agilely Nina lifted Kennan's body and carried him into a sling.
"Grandmothers umi nyuluh mother cama om Danu eat chekalang" he said plain and then kissed Nina's cheek briefly.
"Here carrying om, mother is still tired" Danu said as he reached out his hand, Kennan immediately turned to Danu's sling.
Cape why?"
Nina did not answer, she only smiled. Doubtful he said "M-mas first, I'll catch up"
Danu came out of the room after nodding his head, then stretching his legs towards the gazebo.
While Nina slightly polished her face with powder to disguise her skin that looks a little dull, then immediately stepped foot over to the abi and umi who had been sitting side by side, facing mba Yuni and Kennan.
Danu is on the other side. Mereks seemed to be talking to some of the menus presented in front of them.
"Sit next to your husband Nak, serve him" Umi said after Nina was in Hazebo. A little forced, Ninaduduk next to the husband.
They ate dinner together.
Dinner is different than usual, especially there is Kennan who is very smart to tell stories, making the atmosphere more crowded with jokes and laughter.
Suddenly Danu's phone rang, he immediately shifted the green icon with his thumb.
"Yes Assalamualaikum san?"
"Ok tomorrow morning to the hospital before the office"
The call is closed in short.
"Who's sick, son?" asked Umi, making Nina look to the left side.
"There's no Umi, just want to get the results of the examination"
"What check?" suddenly Nina solicited, making Danu stare at her intensely. Again, the heartbeat of the two men suddenly beat very fast.
"What examination does Danu mean?, is he sick?" Nina took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly.
